How Many Liters of Engine Oil Does the Classic Sylphy Require?
1 Answers
The Classic Sylphy requires 3 liters of engine oil, specifically the original 5W30 grade oil. Between the 5W30 and 0W20 grades, the Sylphy tends to favor 5W30 due to its better low-temperature fluidity, making it suitable for lower temperature environments. The viscosity of engine oil changes with temperature, so it's crucial to pay attention to its performance under both low and high temperatures. For example, in 5W-30, the first number indicates low-temperature fluidity, with 5W representing the ability to withstand temperatures as low as -30°C. The smaller this number, the better the low-temperature fluidity, ensuring smoother cold starts for the vehicle. The latter number represents the oil's kinematic viscosity at 100°C. A higher value means the oil can maintain its viscosity index better at high temperatures, which can also be interpreted as better lubrication performance under high-temperature conditions. The method for changing the engine oil in the Classic Sylphy is as follows: Wait for the engine temperature to drop, allowing the oil to flow back into the oil pan; Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and collect the old oil in a pan until no more oil flows out. Start the engine and let it run for 30 seconds to allow the oil in the main oil passage to drain; Use a specialized wrench to remove the oil filter; apply oil to the seal of the new oil filter and tighten it clockwise by hand; Add the new engine oil through the filler cap on the engine's valve cover, typically filling up to three-quarters of the oil bottle; Start the engine and let it run for 5 minutes, checking for any leaks around the oil drain plug and oil filter. If leaks are found, perform necessary repairs; After stopping the engine, pull out the oil dipstick to check that the engine oil level is within the standard range.
